Question painting truck cap

I just bought a brand new 2000 Leer truck cap off E Bay for $300, guy never used it. Local pick up it fits great and looks good except its white and my truck is silver, anybody have an idea where to get it painted. I am taking it to Maaco tomorrow and my local Leer dealer to see what they want. I have a sprayer and compressor but its to cold and I am lazy. Plus I got it so cheap I can afford to have it painted.
Thanks
Mike

Any quality body shop can do the work. If you want to save a few bucks, do some of the prep yourself (remove windows, rubber trim, etc.)

Maaco wants $300 to do it, they do all the prep a base coat and clear coat just like the truck. And a 2 day turnaround, they have a bake booth and 2 hrs later its ready, I heard good things about this Maaco. They said they did truck caps before.
